SENATOR ALLISON,

Senator Allison's appearance in the New
York campaign may be taken as an ear
nest that he may be presidential candi-
date in 1883. His home paper, the Iowa
State Register, draws parallel between
his speeches and that made by Lincoln in
New York in 1860. To many men, at
this time, it appears likely that Allison
will be the Republican nominee, Mr..
Blaine being the chief instrumentality in
bringing it about by Withdrawing in his
favor Boston Advertiser.

AS TO MINISTER PHELPS.

Minister Phelps was a " toadying Ver-
mont 'mugwump'' in the opinion of the
st. Louis Republican (Democratc) no
longer ago than last Monday. This was
before the Shakespeare memorial speech.
Now that paper declares that he "made
very plain and sensible American
speech at Stratford. He deserves fair
play and he should have it," Very well,
let the st. Louis paper begin. Minister
Phelps general attitude in England has
been as plain and sensible and American
as that Stratford speech.-[Springfield

WORTHY OF PRESERVATION.

The following, as gem of candor, of
truthful statement and of polite argu-
ment, ought to be preserved. 1t is taken
from an article in the Montpelier Argus
protesting to discuss the late hearing be-
fore the interstate commission at Rut-
and:
1t is about time this bladder was punctured
The facts are that the whole matter OF the pc.
titiOn OF the Vermont state grange was "a
piece OF cheap political demagogism. The
Vermont state grange represents the farmers
OF Vermont about as fairly and properly as
senator Edmunds represents its temperance
sentiment. The pursose OF those moving in
this matter was solely to make little cheap
political capital tor few demagogues in
Brattleboro and elsewhere, and to this Sena
tor Edmunds, with desire to pay off some
old scores, cheeriully lent his aid. That il
was an egregious failure was admitted by
even the Senator's warmest political friends
who were present at Rutland.
This is characteristic specimen of the
Argus logic on matters affecting the
Central Vermont railroad. When it does
not care to tackle its adversary's facts
and figures-such as those contained in
the comparative table of freights pre-
sented before the commissioned demol-
ishes the argument by calling it 'cheap
demagogism." And when the Argus has
called name, it has satisfied itself on
any question under the sun. In this case
1t may satisfy Gov. Smith also, but the
business and industrial interests of the
State that are benefited by the order of
the commission, will not be convinced
that the State grange deserves such un-
limited abuse for simply demanding that
the railroad obey the law Brattleboro

the girls are elegantly quartered in
pairs, where they go out mainly in the
company of their lady tutors, and al

scarcely believe butter would melt in
their mouths, theyform so correct and

supervision over them is more apparent
than real, and is exercised only where
it makes show before the public. This

her parents that it is the custom for the
girls to assemble in one another's rooms
at night to carry on the prankS that
might be supposed to obtain only among
persons lost to self-respect. Liquor was
Struggled into the school and drunk by
the girls, cigars and cigarettes were
used by nearly all, prOfane and shock
ing language was delighted in, improper
books were read aloud and circulated,
the girls correspondent with whom they
pleased, and it was the practice of all to
flirt behind their teachers backs during
the daily promenade on Fifth avenue.
Very late hours were kept at the sur
reptitiOus meetings in the bedrooms,
and often more than one girl went to
bed tipsy. On parting all the forbidden
things were locked up, the windows
were flung open until morning, and no

BR FAX UP BABY'S COLD.
A Simple Recipe That Ought to
Save a Lot of Trouble,


Clarissa Potter, in Good Housekeeping.
When find baby has taken cold,
not so feverish and sick as to require
packing, which one breads to do because
of the increased danger resulting from
any exposure afterward, but a smart
cold in its first stages, with red eyes
and running nose and stuffed head, |
take the little one in my lap several
times through the day and again at bed
time, and, removing boots and stock
ings, rub the little feet-soles and tops
and ankles-with sweet oil or goose oil,
and then heat them long and well be-
fore an open fire till the skin will absorb
no more oil.
Then rub the little barred back from
neck to hips, especially along the spine,
with Oil also, shielding baby's back
from cold drafts and letting the warm
rays of freight heat it just right,
chafing and thoroughly heating till the
skin will absorb no more oil.
Wrapped in flannel and tucked away
In her warm nest for the night, baby
often wakes i'm the morning with but
little trace of her cold.
If there is boarseness in connection
with other symptoms of an OncOming
cold, for simple remedy like to give
baby boiled mOlasSes with bit of but
ter or sweet oil or hens oil in it, or a
few tablespoonful of union syrup made
of sliced onions and brown sugar,
which helps sOOthe the throat and clear
the bowels, carrying away, perhaps, the
aggravatlng source OF the cold.

CHINESE AS TEA DRINKERS.
Interesting Facts for Lovers Of
the Beverage Which Cheers.

The Chinese will not drink new tea
because it contains too much alkaloid,
and is sometimes actually Intoxicating.
The "theine" diminishes the waste of
the body, enabling it to get along with
less nourishment, so that it saves food,
and is instinctively valued for this by the
poor. The Tartars obtain still more
sustenance from their brick-tea by pow
dering it and boiling with salt and NUT
ton fat, whereby the casein or gluten of
the plant becomes extracted. Then
they can live for weeks on the tea
leaves which the British housewife
throws away.
On the other hand, it is distinctly bad
to let tea stand too long; that brings
out tannin, and too much tannin will
turn meat taken at the same time into a
sort of leather within the stomach.
There can be little need, however, to
instruct the matrOn of these islands in
the art of tea-making. From the silver
gilt equipage of the duchess to the
brOwn-stCn ne pot in which the washer
woman SOlemnly prepares her evening
dish of tea, the art of making it is essen
TALLY feminine, and has been profoundly
studied.
One hundred and eighty million
pounds per annum all passed through
teapOts-what river to spring from
Pepys' first tentative spoonful and the
modest investment of the old East India
company!
